Fifty Plus (50+) - Sweat bands

I need to get a head sweat band. Any suggestions?

Find an appropriate sized female thigh and, after hopefully much searching, borrow her garter band. Hopefully red velvet will match your jersey. If not keep searching-- high and low. [Sorry, couldn't resist.]

On the cheap? Cut the sleeves off a t-shirt. Now you have a sleeveless shirt and 2 head bands.
The best I have found tho' is a cycling cap by "Headsweats", it's made from a very thin wicking material plus a built in terry cloth band. They make a "do-rag" style too.

I'll be you could have :)

I used cheapies for tennis from WalMart.

I now use a Headsweat Doorag, as I need to keep the sun off of my head, and it comes through the vents in the helmet.

try a Halo Headband (www.haloheadband.com). My favorite for use under a cycling helmet is the Halo Protex. I've tried several, but if you want to keep the sweat out of your eyes, this one works.

I'll vouch for that. I've got a couple of 'em (black one in my avatar) that I like a lot. Today was in the 90s and humid and still had no sweat in the eyes.

I've got both the head band and cap style, both work fine.

What they said!!!!!! halo is the only band that keeps sweat out of my eyes on a 90+/90%+ day.

I've always used a bandanna folded as a sweatband. I have one "Headsweats" do-rag which works pretty well, that I use infrequently.

Do you guys think the "Halo" is better? Maybe I'm missing something.

Thanks for all the info on sweat bands. Halo looks good. I plan to pick one up soon. I will
use a bandanna or rag until then.

I had a Halo and while it helped it could not keep up with the major sweat produced from riding down here in the summer. I have switched to the CoolMax Doo Rag and that does a much better job, however, Sat was so bad it could not even keep up. I felt more like I had been swimming rather than biking. I know when it is bad when I can ring 30mls of sweat out of each of my gloves after a ride.

There's another sweat thing. I think it was mentioned in the Road Cycling thread. I thinks its like Sweat Gutter. Here's the site: http://www.sweatgutr.com/

From the looks of it, I would give it a try. My guess is that its better than the halo.

Before I started using Headsweats I had my helmet air vent pattern burned into my bald head.

Are there any do wrap-style hats with a built in neck drape?

The halo has a small one that's about 3-4" wide at the top and tapers down about another 3".

Duct tape (http://www.octanecreative.com/ducttape/hmo/index.html) works too :)
